Synopsis
The Feel Good Story America Needs Right Now will make audiences laugh a lot. Couldn’t you use a Feel Good Story right about now?
It’s a year after six brave Americans escaped the Hand of God, the most notorious group of terrorists on the planet. The heroes have gathered for a reunion on a 60 Minutes–type news magazine. We’ll come to find out that not all was as it seemed during their captivity. In addition, the hostages are making demands that could scuttle the broadcast. Will they get to tell their harrowing story to America or not?
“This play has ‘conflict’ on steroids….I LAUGHED OUT LOUD more than I have at any other recent comedy….Charlie Mount’s staging is packed with RISIBLE MOMENTS AND PERFORMANCES.”~ Don Shirley, Angeles Stage

“Playwright Mark Wilding, an alumnus ofGrey’s AnatomyandScandal, knows exactly how to pace a story for maximum dramatic irony and comedic impact.
